question
Computing Price Index (CPI or GDP deflator)
answer
1. Compute market basket in base year (P x Q)
2. Compute Market Basket in Given Year (Qby x Pgy)
3. Find Price Index of Given year:
CPIgy= Mkt Basket GY / Mkt Basket BY x 100
2. Compute Market Basket in Given Year (Qby x Pgy)
3. Find Price Index of Given year:
CPIgy= Mkt Basket GY / Mkt Basket BY x 100
question
Demand/Supply Equation
answer
Q = a -bP
I.e, Qd = 24000-500P
Qs = 6000+1000P
I.e, Qd = 24000-500P
Qs = 6000+1000P
